Pike & Eel, Daventry

Property Description

The Pike and Eel is a community estate pub built in the mid 1900’s (60’s at a guess). It shares space in the middle of the estate with a parade of shops and a school and is next to a large piece of open communal ground. It can be accessed from the shops, the estate itself or across the communal park ground. The area is heavily populated with a strong working class profile and families.

Pub Layout

The pub can be entered from the front or side door to the rear, the cellar is street level. When entering from the front, you can either go right into the smaller trading area, set out as a bar or continue straight through a corridor (past the toilets) to a larger room which can be used as a function / entertainment or normal trading area. The pub is decorated to a good standard. From the larger room you can exit onto a covered decked veranda area which overlooks the communal grassed area. The bar connects the two trading areas for the staff but not the customers. The larger room has a long bar the length of the room.

Trading Style

The Pike and Eel is the true definition of a well-supported community estate pub. The pub trades on a wet only basis and is well known for offering televised sports, getting involved in local charities and hosting events. During the weekends, the pub comes alive with a strong entertainment programme such as discos and live music.  The offer is value but presented well. Whilst there is no catering kitchen the new licensee may wish to implement a back bar snack offer in terms of a pie or pizza oven . We have in house support to help launch this .
